Reporter Danielle Meitiv has changed nothing despite a ruling from Child Protective Services citing her and her husband with unsubstantiated neglect. I think at first it was kind of shock and numb. Then as it sunk in it was really upsetting. I turned to my husband and i said i cant believe they really thought we did something wrong. And frankly i started to cry. Reporter the meitivs allowed their children to walk neighborhood streets and to the local park together but with no adult supervision. Theres no neglect anywhere here. And the fact they couldnt say oh, nothing to see here folks everything is fine, and instead theres some judgment in a file somewhere that were negligent parents. Reporter its a style of parenting they call free range and essential for raising independent children. Learning to take little risks like the risk of Walking Around the block without an adult is just part of natural child developments. And i absolutely disagree that my kids are too young to do it. Reporter danielle says the ruling is based on a maryland law that says children under the age of 8 cannot be left unattended or confined. The law says children may not be locked or confined. Cps says that law also applies to outdoors. I dont see how they can make that interpretation. The meitivs actually received the ruling a few days ago but before telling everybody what it was they wanted to consult with their attorney and decided to fight it and appeal this ruling.

The political scramble in maryland started after a surprising and emotional announcement from senator Barbara Mikulski today. At age 78 she announced she will not run for a sixth term and will retire from the u. S. Senate in 2016. With nearly 30 years in the senator shes the longest serving woman and top democrat on the appropriations committee. She said it is simply because it is time. I had to decide how i would spend my time, fighting for my job or fighting for their job. Do i spend my time raising money or do i spend my time raising hell . Do i focus on my election . Or do i focus on the next generation . Do i spend my time promising what i will do or do i do it now and do it the way id like to do. Still got a lot of fire in her, doesnt she .

The naming of a new fire chief. Greg dean is coming from all the way in seattle, washington. He was a firefighter for 44 years out there. The last 10 as fire chief.

Hes going to bring that expertise and energy to washington, d. C. Reporter 75 of the calls to seattles fire and ems are for medical assistance.

Reporter the Firefighters Union says its ready to work with the new chief as the department has big issues that must be addressed. Staffing, resources and training. It doesnt get any easier than that. At the end of the day im looking forward to people waving to these firefighters and talking to them. I expect these firefighters to do the same thing. Stop and talk to these little kids, having fun with these kids and making ourselves an integral part of this community. You dont serve as fire chief for 10 years without coming across some controversy. There was one incident involving gregory dean late last year before he retired. There were a number of firefighters out in seattle who had lost their drivers licenses after they had been arrested for duis. Dean admitted today he was slow in responding to that and taking some action against those firefighters. We should also point out hes a seahawks fan.

The city lifted regulations allowing people to save the Parking Spaces that they worked so hard to dig out of the snow. Garbage trucks began hauling away items like chairs and cones used as so called space savers. Sometimes people do that around here. They feel like i put in all this equity and i come back and my space is gone. Its often a pretty heated confrontation. Very heated. Theyll probably break the record. They can get snow up till april. Theyve suffered so much theyre like lets break the record. Might as well. There might as well be a payoff. Were looking at yet another round of winter precipitation tomorrow but anyone, a different scenario not as cold, not as heavy, not a big deal. Let start with a live look outside. Gorgeous right now. 44. Dew points have fallen in to the teens. We are going for teens and the suburbs tonight for low temperatures. Winds are rather breezy. North north west at 16. They will calm down though later tonight. Colder tonight. There will be some black ice. So what appears wet will be frozen again. Bus stop temperatures 18 to about 30. Thats between 6 a. M. And 9 a. M. And i assume everybody will be on time tomorrow. A morning commute will be fine. Our evening commute will be wet. I dont think its going to be that slippery. Temperatures are not going to be that low and precip is not that heavy or organized. Were looking at a little bit of a mix on tuesday but more of a nuisance than anything else. So 6 00 in the morning on the futurecast its cold. No doubt about that. And mostly cloudy. 20, knaithers burg gaithersburg. Theres no green blobs or blue blobs or magenta blobs. Just clouds at this point. By 9 00, just clouds again. Temperatures 27 downtown. Still rather cold in the burbs. 27 down in to fredericksburg. By 1 00 or 12 30, see a couple blobs here, a little mix frederick up to hagerstown. Not that widespread coverage we had on sunday. Temps are not that cold. 30 in gaithersburg. 35 downtown. 34 in men manassas. Everybody is going to go above freezing. By 8 00 38 downtown. 36 in frederick and 36 in manassas. Notice its all green. Maybe a little mixture but youve got to go north of 70 and north of baltimore. By 10 00 tomorrow night, temps in the upper 30s but some showers. Not a lot of precipitation coming our way tomorrow. Kind of disorganized. Tonight clear skies early. Increasing clouds late. 18 to 26. Northwest winds become northeasterly at about 10. By morning were looking at mostly cloudy skies and cold. A late flurry is possible west of town tomorrow morning but the commute is fine. 18 to 34. By afternoon some sleet, rain, not a huge deal. It will be cold, miserable. 35 to 40. But i think the farther south you are less chance you have of seeing anything for your evening commute. If you get home by 6 00 youll probably be okay in charles county. Winds picking up too out of the south at 10 to 15. Thats going to pay dividends on wednesday and drive up milder air. In the meantime on the day planner its cold. 20s to start. 26 at 9 00. 30 at 11 33 by 1 00. Notice its dry through 1 00. Next three days, were on a streak here of yellow alert days. Yellow alert days tomorrow for the evening mix and rain. Milder with rain and showers on wednesday. Could affect both commutes. 52. Rain goes back to snow on thursday. 33. Unclear as to just how much moisture were going to see in terms of when the cold air gets here but i think were going to see some snow thursday morning. Next seven days. Friday were cold but quiet.
